Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed the club is reviewing their warm-up procedures following an unusual pattern of injuries. The Gunners have now experienced four separate cases where players have been withdrawn before kick-off this season, including Riccardo Calafiori twice, William Saliba, and Bukayo Saka.
Arteta described the situation as 'very unusual,' noting that similar incidents 'probably happened once or twice in six years' he has been at the club. The most recent case forced changes to the team's lineup with Myles Lewis-Skelly moving to left-back and Saka starting in midfield against Wigan.
